About this person
He is especially noted for his work on 15th-century German and Dutch engravers, and the numbers from his catalogues are still the most commonly used in modern references for many artists. Lehrs went blind while still writing his works, which were completed with the help of his daughter and his memory, leading to some lapses in late works.
